Michael Jackson tackles gang violence on Skid Row for his second video off of Thriller. Tension rises as dueling gangs organize and a knife fight ensues. A bloodbath is thwarted when the King of Pop intercedes and tells them violence is not the answer. They then hug it out through a choreographed number. Beat It is one of Michael Jackson's best videos, but he would soon outdo himself with the help of a few zombies.
